I'm a technician. I don't go for the get-into-the-role stuff. I read the lines and play the scenes.

I'm interested in directing movies about situations that I've lived, so they are almost a personal essay about what I've come to believe in.

Interestingly, when you do films, sometimes you have conscious reasons, things that you were looking for, or stuff that you were trying to do. And then, you see the film and you think, "Wow, it ended up being something totally different!"

I was raised with a single mom and we had a very specific, very particular relationship. She worked with me and my job.

It was beautiful and also an incredible, difficult struggle. I know how creative that life is, and how difficult it is to figure it out.
